A stunning brunette from across the pond, Caroline Munro supplemented her limited thespian skills with incredible looks. She was a Bond babe and Hammer honey, and was in some classic sci-fi movies as well (including the priceless Starcrash). She has her own website, is very popular on the fan circuit, and seems to be beloved by all. And she still looks incredible!

A German-American with a French name, Barbara Bouchet made an early mark as a Bond Girl (she actually played Miss Moneypenny, albeit in the dreadful Casino Royale). She later did one-off TV shows like the Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Star Trek, finally ending her career by heading back to Europe to make cheapo Italian horror movies and sex comedies. Like many European actresses, she was more than happy to get all nekkid.

With needles dipped in deadly venom the victims are paralyzed – so they must lie awake and watch themselves die!

This exotic brunette is half Italian and half Maltese, was born in Algeria, grew up in France, and later lived in Italy. She is also extremely attractive, and more than willing to drop her clothes at the slightest instigation. Her specialty was Italian sex comedies, but she also did her fair share of giallos. Because she was much more popular in Continental Europe, I could find surprisingly little on her in English. I was, however, able to find these interesting additional facts courtesy of Google Translate:

The cinema is not far, and our friend began quietly in 1966 in a French comedy "Johnny Be Good", where she plays the utilities.

The shapely head and long teeth, it will not be long to settle permanently in Italy, where job opportunities abound.

Actress limited without being null, the former Lady Europe has indeed exceptional asset for photogenic, well-rounded shape and skin texture through wonderfully in the picture, which often stripped of its benefits for erotic models big screen.

Born in the former Yugoslavia of a Greek father and a Polish mother, Sylva Koscina went on to live and do most of her work in Italy. Starting out in sword and sandal epics, she soon had screen credits in a number of genres, most of which involved her taking off her clothes. “Ultimately,” as IMDb nicely puts it, “her ornamental qualities rather exceeded her abilities as an actress.” Ah, but what “ornamental qualities” they were.

Beautiful and sexy, Ingrid Pitt is my all-time favorite B movie vampire. One of the Hammer honeys, they labeled her “the most beautiful ghoul in the world.” Though she actually didn’t make that many horror movies (and they weren’t all Hammer), she was not someone any viewer was likely to forget. She also did a wonderful job keeping her legacy alive, becoming a convention regular, operating her own website, writing articles for other sites and magazines, and always staying in character.Her back story, by the way, is one of the most interesting I’ve ever run across. As a child, she actually spent three years in a Nazi concentration camp. And as a teen, she escaped from East Germany by diving in a river, swimming across, and marrying the U.S. soldier who rescued her.
